God's words are always the best for strengthening one' s spirit, thus the heart. I love to read little devotionals that have been given to me over the years by my family.
I know I'm not alone, especially in the times we live in today so many search for happiness. Even in the hearts of our young people, there is a yearning for something more than the emptiness of today's world and word. There is a young man in Marion, Ohio,who working to have a plaque of The Ten Commandments put back in the school and why not. isn't it part of a book, a literary work, that has been on "The Best Sellers List" for years and years.
I think of the paintings of Christ that many have sot to remove from the halls of our institutions, complaining of "Separation Of Church And State" . Those paintings were done because the artist was inspired by the love they had for the words written in "The Ultimate Book Of Love" couldn't it be said it too was "Freedom Of Expression" I could only wish it would be allowed as such. I have gone through books dealing with the origins of Art and not surprising, it all started with the desire for man's quest for religious guidance and expression of faith . Now all other forms of artistic expression has changed in its belief as long as the interpretation of a divine being deemed as "Realism " don't interfere with political motive. Question of the mind, I suppose, but for me it's the question of the heart and of the soul. We all want love, a chance to look upward and forward, just human.
Let every person be inspired by those people who have walked everyday in the light of Christ, who have encouraged and helped others in the Christian life by lending a helping hand. We need them, we need to know Our Heavenly Father's Strength of heart, His Love and His Guidance is always present in our lives.
St. Anthony
